Adam John Munich (born May 2, 1994) is an American polymath.

Munich attended Orchard Park High School, Harkness Career and Technical Center, and Rochester Institute of Technology.[1][2]

In 2012 he was recognized by Popular Science for designing and building a portable battery-operated x-ray machine.[3]

"In his first year at RIT, he got into trouble for cracking our IT security systems just to show us how easy they were to break into."
- Bill Destler,[4] President, Rochester Institute of Technology

In 2013, he won First Place for the Engibous Prize in the sixth annual Texas Instruments Analog Design Contest.[5] Munich's project focused on improving the original Tesla coil, producing a working model.[4][6]

During his attendance of the Rochester Institute of Technology,[7] he founded The Construct: a student-run hackerspace.[8]

In 2014, he was awarded the Thiel Fellowship[9] to continue his work in mobilizing radiography.

In 2014, Aperture Systems, Inc. was formed in Berkeley, California to make, mobile and affordable, x-ray radiography.[10][11][12][13][14]
